EXPRESS SPORT take a look at the potential dealings that could happen at Newcastle during the January transfer window.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is set to dip into the loan market for a goalkeeper, with both first-choice Tim Krul and back-up Rob Elliot currently out injured.

Youngster Jak Alnwick, 21, has deputised in their absence, but has shipped in 10 goals in just four outings.

Talking about the two stoppers, Pardew said: “I don’t think they will be back until mid-January – it’s a long wait.”

A new attacking midfielder could also be on the cards should Moussa Sissoko leave for a top-four contender in January.

Who can they sign?

Newcastle have set their sights on signing Chelsea’s Mark Schwarzer on a short-term loan deal to solve the club’s goalkeeper crisis.

The Premier League veteran is reportedly open to the idea of a temporary move having fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge since the return of Thibaut Courtois.

Pardew is also lining up a shock return for Yohan Cabaye, with the midfielder struggling to break into the first team at Paris Saint-Germain. The midfielder left for the Ligue 1 giants less than 12 months ago, but has only featured sporadically under Laurent Blanc.

The Frenchman is understood to be available for £19m – having left St James Park for £22m last January – but Newcastle will have to battle Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United for the 28-year-old’s signature.

Who could leave?

Newcastle could say goodbye to Sissoko in January with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expected to make a £16m bid for his services. And unfortunately for the Magpies faithful, the 25-year-old has already revealed his desire to play for the Gunners.

He has previously said on the speculation: “Arsenal were my favourite club when I was young. I have always loved this club and I still love them.

“I have ambition. My goal is to play at the best clubs, playing in the Champions League, win trophies.”

Pardew could also be forced to sell one of Newcastle’s brightest prospects, Rolando Aarons. The 19-year-old – who has been likened to Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling – has reportedly turned down a new deal, putting suitors Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal on red alert.
